Chapter 3: Revenge

"What just happened?" Naruto asked seemingly nothing, though he knew the Kyuubi would hear him

You bit her. Didn't it feel good?

"No," Naruto replied quietly, slightly shocked at the fact that he had actually done just that.

Does the blood not taste wonderful?

"The blood tastes awful. Now shut up."

Look deep inside yourself and say that again.

"The only thing I see deep inside myself is you, damn fox!"

Surely she will respect you now.

"I said be quiet," Naruto mumbled, realizing what an odd sight this would be for a someone passing by. He rinsed his mouth out in the river.

Surely you must have felt some joy.

"I said go away! You've been causing most of the problems I've had through my entire life!" Naruto barked. "You aren't making things better right now!"

"Oh, I'm not? You'll see. Killing is an exciting game," a voice said as Naruto woke up inside the seal, right in front of the bars that held the demon fox.

"I said shut up."

"I can show you how to get revenge on the villagers… Without killing them."

"Promise it won't kill them?" Naruto asked quietly after a pause.

"Promise. Now just let me possess you for an hour, I'll show you what I mean."

Naruto gave in, and felt coils of chakra wrap around him, and instead of just getting chakra, they wrapped tightly around his muscles.

In an instant, Naruto was back in the real world. In another instant, he lost control of his movements. The next thing he knew was that he was standing over a helpless Sakura, who had her left arm nearly severed off, a black eye, and was surrounded my multiple knocked out ANBU members, along with a barely-conscious Kakashi.

He gasped. You said nobody was going to…

Die. Exactly. They're all alive. Just badly injured.

How could you?

Revenge, kid. Learn to get used to it.

After that, Naruto saw Tsunade rush outside. "Naruto! What happened?" she asked urgently.

"That… Monster…" Sakura gasped, ponting at Naruto. "He nearly killed me, and everyone who tried to defend me!"

"What?" Tsunade was shocked. She turned her gaze towards Naruto. "Is this true?"

"I… I don't remember what just happened! All I know is that I was at the river and all of a sudden I was standing here!"

"The whole truth!"

"Umm…" Naruto murmured reluctantly. "The Kyuubi said nobody would get killed… I didn't know he planned to hurt people…"

Tsunade grabbed his wrist before calling an emergency medical squad. "You actually listenened to that?" she scolded. "For all you know, all of Konoha might have been destroyed!"

Naruto suddenly felt words come to him without his opinion on it, and he smiled. "And I would care why?" he asked. "It isn't as if I've gotten anything good from here. Name one day without being on a mission that I wasn't given a cold stare for no apparent reason?" The words were bitter, but Tsunade closed her eyes in pity as she realized that there was truth in them.

"That doesn't mean you can go and release the seal whenever you feel like it!" she replied after a pause. "Sakura was nearly killed!" Multiple people were staring at the two.

"Why should I care about Sakura?" Naruto asked her darkly. "You people act as if I owe something to Konoha. Like what?" He slapped her hand off his wrist before continuing. "I've lived my whole life as if it was I who terrorized Konoha. As if I had a say in having a nine-tailed demon sealed in me! I wasn't even a day old at the time, and yet I lost more than anyone! Not only my entire family, but I lost the trust of Konoha before I even earned it! AND FOR PRACTICALLY THIRTEEN YEARS, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHY EVERYONE HATED ME!" Naruto dashed off, faster than anyone else available was at the time. Tsunade was in shock. Is that really the pain he's been suffering all this time? No, it's only a fraction of it, she thought sadly. Hardly a fraction, in fact. How many people must have tried to kill him?

"Should we send someone out after him?" an ANBU member asked.

"Yes," Tsunade said wearily, and a tear rolled down her face as she figured out what she was going to be told next.

"You realize we have to kill him before this happens again.

"Yes, I know."
